Mug cakes are ideal for kids to make. They are super simple with minimal clean-up. My kids really enjoy making this colorful unicorn confetti cake and have even made some gift jars to give to their friends. Simply take a mason jar, fill it with the dry ingredients, and put a label on the front with instructions. The recipient of this treat just needs to add the wet ingredients for their own mug cake. This cake tastes great with cream cheese frosting and a scoop of vanilla ice cream or by itself.
In a small mixing bowl blend one-quarter cup of Bisquick, 2 tablespoons of white sugar, and two tablespoons of coconut. Stir in one-quarter cup of milk and two tablespoons of vegetable oil. Mix ingredients well and fold in four tablespoons of colored sprinkles.
Pour the cake batter into the prepared mug and microwave for ninety seconds. Allow to cool while preparing the frosting.
Frosting
With an electric hand mixer, cream two ounces of cream cheese, two tablespoons of butter, and one cup of powdered sugar until smooth.
Beat in two tablespoons of milk, one tablespoon of heavy cream, and one-half teaspoon of vanilla extract. Mix in four tablespoons of colored sprinkles.
Preparation
Apply the frosting to the cooled mug cake and enjoy! Refrigerate any leftover frosting for up to four days.
